Not so happy go lucky as people would think.

I sure hope you get your lab sooner than later. Most folks would be surprised at where the Labrador stands on the list of most apt to bite list. Controlling it is the issue. I got my Belgian Malinois Mix checked for aptitude for bite work and they are a natural. Much of their ability come from their herding instinct and drive. I did the bite work so I was able to control the issue which if left unchecked can become the demise of your beloved pet/protector. Good Luck

Note. The Shock collar used properly can be the most humane training tool. I would have never tried one if my trainer hadn't suggested one following the first warning nip my dog took at a stranger that approached me from behind to close for her comfort.

What's your Defense Weapon of choice next to your bedside?

I have several. Pictured in this bad cell phone photograph is a small room in my house where I often read and fall asleep. The bed is actually a futon, and might as well be a giant dog bed. This isn't a staged photograph, by the way...it's exactly how the room looks right before I settle in for the night.

If you're curious, the weapons on the bedside table are a Ruger Security-Six, a Colt full size .45, and an old 12-gauge Winchester Model 12 factory riot gun. The dogs are Annie and Beau...doing their best to ignore me when I'm telling them to move to their side of the bed.

So I believe I sleep safe at night. Overkill? No, not really...just prepared, I think.

Oh, I sleep very warm at night as well. My big Best Friends put out a lot of body heat. Saves on heating bills. Plus, I get to joke with my buddies, like, "Hey, you guys ought to see the dog I slept with last night."

One of my 9mm Glocks and a snub revolver in more everyday instances like answering the door where a defense scenario could unfold quickly at close/contact ranges.

I think rifles and shotguns are generally a bad idea except in circumstances when you can operate from a fixed location. Home defense is most often about moving, communicating, and defending in tight spaces and close quarters when you’re not prepared. With the rifle or shotgun, you lose a lot of maneuverability and weapon retention is also an issue. If the home invader gets close to the long gun armed home defender, they can grab the firearm’s barrel and possibly disarm you. Rifles and shotguns require two hands which can be a problem in a situation requiring performing manual tasks, such as opening doors, grabbing kids, moving to and rounding up other family members, calling 911, or manipulating lights switches/flashlight.

My obnoxiously loud Basset hound.
My obnoxiously effective Mossberg 590.
My 4566.
My 586.
My SR9.
My 5946
My 6906
My CZ82
Various length/size edged and impact weapons, in case (God forbid) things get too close for comfort.
And, the AK pistol. Just in case I decide hearing loss sounds like fun.
 
The security system, 4 dogs, shotgun in the closet and M&P in a lock box on the nightstand. There is sometimes an AR next to the nightstand too.
 
I have an FNX45 in the nightstand, I have others that are up do to the job, but this is what I intuitively reach for.

Get one from a hunting line, check it good.

I have had many labs. For me they work well. Ducks, upland game, companion and watch dog.

The follow you home event is called a command decision. Just do it.
 
Some folks snuck in pics of kats. Here is why cats are not the all around pets.

They witch and whine when you throw them in to retrieve a duck.

They are easily distracted, in the middle of a point they can and will chase a butterfly or go gawk at a squirrel.

Geese kick their butt when being retrieved.

They don't like drinking from a mud puddle during dove season.

Cats usually hide under a bed during burglary in progress.

The room I'm in right now is just barely wide enough to contain the grin on my face when I look at this photo. It would be impossible not to love this dog, just simply impossible.
